Name a player in recent times who went to your side and subsequently left with a higher value on the transfer market, or left as a better and more coveted player in the EPL.

Sebastien Bassong, Shay Given and James Milner

I not agreeing on the Martins thing tho.Martins is not a shite player,he just inconsistent and he was the same at inter.

Newcastle as a whole were on a downward slide from the time they put Souness in charge so I blame the managerial effect as opposed to the club. And your reasoning could apply to any side struggling in the lower regions of the EPL after being in the top 10.
With that reasoning you could call a side like Boro who had Mendieta,Maccarone and Rochemback or Sunderland since they in the EPL, all their players lose ratings.

Seen, i agree with you re: the managerial issues at both coaching and executive levels being the causative factors.. but that dont change the fact that the club in recent times have a rep of being a burial ground..

sunderland and boro are graveyard clubs as well btw.
